I Love My Real Estate Profession Because . . .
I am writing this post in response to Sally Cheeseman's post titled I LOVE My REAL Estate Profession Because....... (Challenge) challenge this morning about why I love my real estate profession.
I have many reasons for loving the position I have now, and they are as follows:
- I love to help people. I am empathetic by nature as a person, and I get satisfaction out of helping people.
I take the time to learn something new each day, and know that I have the ability to learn something new each day! I love to read and take the time to read every day.
- I have the opportunity to meet new and and interesting people each day.
I work with a great team at Prudential California Realty in Newport Beach, and am grateful for my many friends I have there. The agents offer to help if you need it, or a sounding board if you need that.
I have flexibility with my job, I create my own schedule. Sometimes that works to my detriment as I tend to over commit (still working on that).
I can schedule time for myself (which is needed for all of us in this business - we all need a balance of work, rest and play).
I love to create unique and different looking documents (printed) and articles on-line. (must be the artsy person in me).
I love helping clients find their new home. Nothing is more exciting than helping a first time home buyer find their home. And even better is when your clients become your friends!
I am grateful that I live and work in such a beautiful area. Every week - I have the opportunity to preview new homes that are on the market, and it is a privilege to see some of these homes.
I love the business aspect of Real Estate, and strive to be a professional in all areas, communicate with my peers, clients and prospects.
My career in Real Estate helped me find Active Rain,
I am in this business for the long haul, and just adjust my thinking depending upon what is happening around us. It is important to remember that the glass is half full . . .

Yikes... Ok Sharon I will take the challenge.
Greg - I thank you for commenting . . . it is kind of like valentines day . . .
Cat - I think it is similar for many of us, This is fun, and something good to focus on!!!
Hi Sharon, even tho I'm in a different type of business, I can relate to a lot of what you wrote, especially "I can schedule time for myself"...
For me that's probably the biggest perk! Thx for sharing!
Kim - thanks for participating, you rock!!!
Marti - thanks for your comment and I look forward to reading your posts. I do too look forward to time off - it is important!
Hi Sharon, Thanks for commenting on my post about how I can give back (during Thanksgiving).
I see you are in the real estate profession for many of the same reasons that I am.
Marlene - you are welcome, and I like the idea of supporting a drive in the office to provide food/clothing to the needy - there are honestly so many people in need. I love what the profession offers us.
I'm a newbie to the group...Hey Yall. I'll be writing a post about why I love this career (15 years so far)...but for now, on the glass half empty or half full question...I prefer to get a smaller glass and then it's full.

Sharon, Great Post. I like being my own boss also, but like you I do enjoy meeting and helping people find a home. All my clients have been so appreciative; I think more than any other profession I have been in.
Sharon, I really enjoyed this post. It is obvious you enjoy your work and I am sure your clients benefit from your professional s well as personal attitude!
Vickie - I agree that we are in the business of helping others. I think that is the most important aspect. Thanks for the comment.
